My 1st attempt at UW photography with EPL-3

[Noobia]

Hi guys,

Just wanted to share some of the photos that I have taken with the epl-3 on my recent dive trip to Bali. all shots were taken with the camera's internal flash .























My next purchase will definitely be a strobe! Thanks for your time!

Wonderful shots, wish my first efforts had been so good. Congratulations.

Yes these are great. What lens did you take them with - the 14-42mm kit lens? Also: what part of Bali were you diving? Lots of interesting critters here.

Looks like a good start to me, great photos!

Superb pics! What lens, port, settings, post processing did you use? Thanks!

They look great. I'm always impressed to see what people can do without external lights. Keep it up and thanks for sharing!

Thank you for all the kind words!

Yes. I took the shots with the 14-42 kit lens. For smaller critters, I used UCL-165M67 to help me focus closer. I dove in Blue Lagoon and Tulamben, Blue Lagoon was alright but I really enjoyed Tulamben!

Please see above for the lens used. I shot in Aperture mode (f4-f8), on hindsight, I should have experimented more with smaller aperture and faster shutter speed in Manual Mode. My brain seems to work slower when I am diving lol.

I shot in RAW and the pictures were post-processed in lightroom. Did the usual stuff, mainly, adjusting the exposure and white balance. I also added a bit of contrast, did abit of sharpening and noise reduction.

Hope this helps!

Great work - I like the last two in particular.

Tulamben is a lovely dive, but I think my favourites were Manta Point & Crystal Bay. We saw mola molas at Crystal Bay. You need a wide-angle lens for those critters!
